Match Pointe: A world of passion burns inside me, hidden from view by my delicate ballet movements. I will break free of my ballerina box, and I will have him – no matter what the cost.“Phenomenal! Loved every word!”I absolutely fell in love with Tyler and Scarlet!”“Their story is sexy and so very sweet and loving…I would definitely reread this book again and again.” – Reader ReviewsMy whole … again and again.” – Reader Reviews
My whole life I’ve been driven by my mother to be one of the greatest ballerinas that the New York City Ballet has ever seen. She kept me in a glass viewing case, not meant to be handled or touched.
But once I remove my pointe shoes, I yearn for independence, escape, and the freedom just to be me…and to have him, Tyler Wilson.
Tyler may be the star striker for New York FC and a serial womanizer, but underneath his frivolous bravado, I see the real Tyler – the kind, protective man I’ve known since childhood. Though he still sees me as a fragile, an untouchable princess.
Now we’re kind of working together, I feel the crack of electric, sexual tension in the air with each glance shared and I have my chance.
I will show Tyler I’m not just a ballerina in a box, and together, we will defy everyone and break the rules.
But we can never, ever be caught.

Scarlet and Tyler are a sexy steamy take on the My Fair Lady HEA archetype. Scarlet has devoted her whole life to ballet – she loves dance and wants to be a principal with New York Ballet. The only draw back with making her life all about the ballet is that she has missed out on all the other experiences of life. She has been sheltered and kept in a box keeping her from really living. This not only has limited her world view but also impacts her ability to dance with true conviction. Passion is something you have to experience in order to accurately portray. Woefully innocence and naive she wants to experience all there is to know about life, love and sexuality not only for her art but also herself – now she just has to pick the guy… If she is being honest with herself the only man for the job is – Tyler, her crush supreme. Too bad he sees her as basically a kid sister. Tyler is a love’em and leave’em guy. No expectations and no one gets hurt. He’s young rich and successful – so he is living the dream. When his sister’s best friend comes to looking to be school in the the kama sutra basically he is floored. This is basically every man’s fantasy – hot innocent ballerina wants no strings attached fling – sounds too good to be true. Tyler soon finds that Scarlet is the fairest lady of all and there is no way he is letting her get away.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book.
Well done, well done Amélie S. Duncan! I highly enjoyed Match Pointe. This book is the #3 in the Love and Play Series. Although it is the third book it can be read as a standalone. Match Pointe is Tyler’s (who is a soccer player for the New York FC) and Scarlet (a NYC ballerina). Scarlet’s BFF (Zoey) is Tyler’s sister. Zoey is also in the NYC ballet company. Tyler has been Scarlet’s “big crush” for a very long time after-all he has been around while Scarlet & Zoey grew up.
Now Tyler & a couple of his soccer mates Lance, Javier, Ace Erik (I am hoping we will see more of Tyler’s teammates) are collaborating with the NYC Ballet Co. for special project.
That is all you are going to get from me since I don’t want to giveaway part of this book. I really enjoyed learning more of all the characters in Match Pointe especially Tyler and Scarlet. I hope to read another book that has Zoey’s story!
You can tell that Amélie S. Duncan demands perfection from her writing, it is flawless. I did voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book but, I always buy a copy as well. I give Match Pointe 5 stars! I can’t wait to read more books by this author! I know I am always
Wow… I loved this book so much. My first from this author and definitely not the last. I could not put this book down. I loved the relationship between Tyler and Scarlet. Tyler being the brother of scarlets bff. I dont want to give anything away cause it is that good. Now I have to read the first two books in this series. Amazing read and a new favorite.
